Okay, I didn’t look at the image closely enough. Yes, definitely AI. The knobs look like they’re melting. The buttons are all off-kilter. Non of the text is actual text, just AI blurs.

Everyone is saying it’s a washer. Couldn’t it be a gas dryer? The combination makes a little sense if they’re both gas appliances. Maybe many apartments only have one gas line and this is the easiest and cheapest way to install a dryer. Add it where there is already gas for the stove.

Google and Meta have absolutely had this capability for ages.

I aliased cd to a custom funtion in my bashrc to do this at one point, but cd ../../../.. is too engrained so I never rembered to use it.

What’s stopping us from using similar techniques in hot climates now? Why aren’t we building similar structures as homes in Phoenix instead of the standard suburban homes?

I got back in touch with a friend of mine who who graduated in the same class as me with a B.S. in Physics. When they learned that I’m an atmospheric scientist, their first question was “What’s the deal with Chem trails?”

Point being, conspiracy theories also infect the educated sometimes.

They do appear to call him “The Eye of Sauron” so, maybe the person writing this wasn’t really interested in making him look good and phoned it in.

Be Shapiro is a shit head and deserves all the flack that can be hurled at him. Where does the no chin thing come from, though? He seems to have a pretty normal chin.

How slow would that windows box be with the minimum specs? That seems like it would be a nightmare.

Linux on the other hand will run on anything and it’s glorious!

Jesus… Are the prices low due to the interest rate? Or is all property owned by people who can buy cash?

Gun lovers who don’t even know the difference between “shot” and “shoot”.

Oh, come on, they’re both on drugs.

As a Coloradan, I agree. Also, New Mexico and Virginia. Probably should also leave PA to Jesus Land.

What part of the plate has lead? The plate itself or the paint?

Yeah, I’ll be 58 when my boy is 19… Gotta get in shape!

You’d have to be staring at the woman’s belly pretty closely to see the 6mm embryo and, if you did, you’d realize that it certainly has no consciousness yet.

You’re probably talking about a plane so old it had ashtrays in the arm rests. Just as an interesting note, though, the FAA still requires ashtrays on new aircraft. Not in every seat, but they’re required to have one in each lavatory. They are also all required to have the no smoking signage as a constant reminder that there is absolutely no smoking.

For a minute I thought she had a five-o-clock shadow. Turns out my screen was dirty.

Same for me, but I guess I’m a little younger since my console was NES and, later, a Gateway 2000 computer.

I’m so glad that I had those experiences and so sad that my son won’t. I hope that I can give him enough of a similar experience that he can at least identify with Calvin and Hobbes.

Do you have recommendations for tutorials on this?

For raster imagery (and probably vector) I recommend imagemagick.
